Loud, colourful, fast and frantic, this adaptation of Shakespeare’s tale of star crossed lovers is about as far from traditional theatre as you could imagine. Played by Leonardo Di Caprio and Clare Danes, the young couple at the centre of the story must still overcome their families’ bitter feuding in order to be together, but now they do so in violent Verona Beach, Florida, a place where swords have been replaced by guns, and where their soundtrack is blazing rock music. This one-page film guide is designed to support pre and post screening discussions around the film with accompanying teacher notes, which can help teachers build discussion around character, different genres and key message of the film . The film guide is suitable to use with students age 11+. This film is now free to stream at Into Film+ https://www.intofilm.org/films/3127

Through using the youth made short films made as part of The Moving Minds 2 Filmmaking project, this resource equips young people aged 11-19 and their educators to confidently: • Express ideas about mental health using the medium of film. • Engage with film and filmmaking with increased confidence in order to articulate ideas about what mental health means to them. • Raise self-esteem by participating in engaging personal reflective activities in class or at home. • Work towards their own mental health goals in a personalised Mental Wellbeing Strategies Toolkit. • Be guided by peers and filmmakers alike to make their own Moving Minds 2: Building Resilience for Wellbeing short film, no matter their skill level or equipment. Into Film believes that youth-made films are uniquely useful for starting and supporting discussions about mental health, as they enable the viewer to see the subject through young people’s eyes. It is our hope that youth-made films contribute to destigmatising mental ill health, as well as inspiring engagement with filmmaking as a means to articulate many of the hard to express ideas seen in many mental health conditions.
